Ep 88: Preparing for Birth as a Rite of Passage

In today’s episode, Meg and Jacob O'Neill dive into the ultimate rite of passage: preparing for the birth of their first child.

As Meg approaches 38 weeks, they reflect on the emotional and physical journey of pregnancy and the intensity of the birth process. This isn't just a logistical challenge—it's a deep, spiritual initiation that’s asking both of them to surrender to the unknown. With Jacob humorously navigating the "holy grail" of nursing chairs and Meg embodying trust in her body’s wisdom, they explore what it really means to meet this moment with presence, humor, and raw authenticity.

They riff off on:

• The surreal experience of waiting for their lives to change, with no fixed schedule for when the baby will arrive.
• Meg's powerful intention not to manifest a "perfect" birth, but to fully surrender to whatever comes.
• The deep trust they’ve developed with their birth keeper, Leslie, and how she nourishes Meg in ways she never knew she needed.
• The unexpected healing that’s emerging for both of them, especially Jacob as he reflects on the masculine role in the birth process.

and many more...
